Load a PDF File

Hi,

I've got a little problem using isedQuickPdf Dll version.
I try to load a PDF file with LoadFromFile or DAOpenFile.
I can do this with no real problem only under conditions.
When my PDF got a normal name like "Buy list.pdf", no problem, but when my PDF file has a particulary name like "PDF-78400-100830 Buy list.pdf", impossible to load it ! Each time, the function returns me 0
Is there some restrictions about the name of the PDF file to load ?
Thanx

Hi!

I've tested it with several names (like you described here) - No problems.

Perhaps it's having to do with short filenames, missing "" or country code tables...?

Good luck,
Ingo

"Buy list.pdf" works

Have you tested with different string lengths? Perhaps you can find a limit for the length of the filename?

The files are on a network drive
But the problem is the same if they are on a local drive c:\

Hi!

That's not good ... but that's not your problem. "PDF-78400-100830 Buy list.pdf" has only 29 digits ;-)

Best regards,
Ingo

As far as I know, the DLL functions themselves are not limited to a number of chars.

Which programming language are you using? Can you post a piece of code?

my programming language is Clarion from SoftVelocity so I use the dll version

here a sample code

Loc:fileToLoad = 'PDF-74800-100830 Buy List from 01082006.pdf' !! I'm locate in the good directory

return# = LoadFromFile(clip(Loc:fileToLoad))
message('Return => ' & return#)
message(PageCount())

The return variable always contains 0 if I put a file with a name length > 30 chars. Else It works ok.

Another sample of code with I've tested :

openFile# = DAOpenFile(Loc:fileToLoad, '')
message(openFile#)
nbPages# = DAGetPageCount(openFile#)
message('Nb Pages = ' & nbPages#)
closeFile# = DACloseFile(openFile#)

my variable is a String(255) and when I look at then content, the filename is correctly load in it.

i really don't know where my error is....
